In 2010, I unearthed it so I could finally start my quilting hobby (life got in the way, needless to say). I looked at those 18-19 year old fabrics and cracked up! They now reside in crocheted rag rugs. I am trying to learn to use fabrics and while I have a big stash, I don&#39;t want to find the same fabrics years from now in those bins. OH...PS...I have a huge bin of DS fabrics I hoard.

I have 3 empty bedrooms (sons have grown and moved out years ago) and their former closets are full of fabrics. Lately though I have been trying to be disciplined about what fabrics to buy. Meaning it already has a planned pattern so when the fabric arrives I print out the pattern and pin it to the collection. Then I add the pattern to a list of quilts I want.

Embarrassed to say I&#39;ve had some fabric for years. I guess I have this need to have the perfect project for it.

YES!<br />is it because you just like to look at it all stacked up? YES!<br /><br />If I use it, I usually give it away (or sell it).
